A.d.

2014 debut full length album from the Baltimore hardcore band ANGEL DU$T recorded with Brian McTernan (THE EXPLOSION, IN MY EYES, POLAR BEAR CLUB). The band formed in 2012 blur the lines between punk, hardcore, rock & pop. It all started with their first EP, Xtra Raw, a collection of eight songs that managed to be as catchy as they were explosively energetic. Traces of influence from bands like BAD BRAINS, THE STOOGES, POISON IDEA, BLACK FLAG, and MISFITS are apparent, yet ANGEL DU$T manages to contribute something truly unique that could have only come out of Baltimore. Even with influences that seem to draw deep into the '80s and earlier, ANGEL DU$T finds a way to approach it all with a youthful honesty, with songs that touch on everything from the personal to the sexual to the socio-political.
